You can call for help with whatever you are dealing with. Together, we will determine how to help you to resolve what you need to, and to heal . You will not be judged, or criticized but treated with respect and dignity. Emotional healing is so important so that you can be YOU, & not your defense/ coping mechanisms. Let's face it, always reacting from a place of being triggered doesn't feel good. You can learn to work through anything and get to a better place. Do the work so you can be your a...

The other side. I am the owner and lead therapist at Empowered Perspective. I am licensed in the state of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and received my master’s degree in Human Relations (the study of psychology, sociology, and anthropology) from the University of Oklahom...

We know that searching for a therapist can be one of the most difficult parts of coping, healing, and self-empowerment, because it's the first thing you must do. You must force yourself out of your comfort zone and out of whatever routine you've had before, to take the initiative and embark on a new path. When we're at our best, stepping out of our comfort zones can be daunting; when we're feeling vulnerable, it can seem nearly impossible. No matter what prompted you to take this first step, we'...

It's important to not feel judged when talking about the things that are causing us stress, depression, anxiety or pain in our lives. It's also important that we are supported in a compassionate manner. These are a few of the things that you can expect when in session with me; a compassionate, nonjudgmental and supportive ear. You can also expect goals and sessions tailored to your individual needs. I do not believe that one form of treatment works for everyone, which is why I practice an integr...
